RE: Telnet and the net command

["Allan Clearwaters" <allan at object-forge dot com>]

The problem is not related to the CYGWIN variable but rather to
subprocesses.  It appears that (from a telnet login) if you launch a task
under NT (for instance a java application) then its output disappears down a
black hole.  I assume this is what I saw with the net command.  Is there any
way to solve this?

Thanx,
Allan

No, I have never tried to telnet to my machine.  TERM=cygwin for me as well,
which is the default.
